The armed group al-Shabab aim is to impose strict Islamic law across Somalia. In the cities they already control, everything deemed un-Islamic has been quickly destroyed. Zakaryya Abdelhady, a professor of Islamic thought and culture at Qatar University in Doha, discusses sharia and al-Shabab’s actions with Al Jazeera.

that is real islam. islam that has started 1400 yrs ago. We refer to it as “radical islam ” or “fundamental”. The islam that is taught in the western mosks is a civilized version of it.kind of like the next generation or civilized version. It is what islam should be like all over if it wouldnt be for the controlling leaders that use the missinformed masses as their weapons,I have trouble seeing a difference between these radicals and an large organized gang of murderers.
the worst comment that i saw in youtube damn
This is sad.
Sufism has been in Somalia for centuries, since the beginning of Islam in Somali society.
Al-Shabaab, although it means well, it’s actions are harmful.
Hey OGAAL Bitch…We know the bitchs like you, who are programmed the way you talk down on islam and the prophet while sucking unbelievers dicks in car parks.
Hey Ass Hole…the only human rights, sodomites like you deserve in islam is stoning. GO to Hell
this man is an hypocrit
Ogaal83, I agree with you with every word you say here bro. You are real Somali and I love you for that…

I thought you were from Somaliland !… Sida loo hadlo baro marka hore intaadan dadka afka ku soo taagiin…Have a wonderful day….
Religion is a symptom of ignorance.
“Gaal” waa midka dadkayagu bad iyo beriba u soo maray si uu nabad iyo nolol uu adduunka meel kale ka helaynin u helo. Kun sannadood ayaannu Carab daba ordaynay oo waxaannu maanta ka haynaa sagaal-jir aabbihiis xabbad madaxa uga dhufanaya oo lugu yiri aabbahaa wuxuu hasytaa diin khalad ah. Haddaysan waallidu kuu muuqan oo ad leedahay sidaan ha lugu jiro, oo ad cabsi iyo maskax-dhaq wali ku jirtid, malaha inaad dad iyo dantood ka hadashid kuuma bannaana. Doqonnimo waa wixii socon waayey ku celi.
Don’t feel sorry for me. Feel sorry for the kid whose mother had been decapitated, whose father had been beheaded and siblings brainwashed to no end by the big-breaded, Arab-funded psycho whose sole purpose on Earth is to kill. I’m against the killing of my people under false pretences by Arab ideology and if that makes me “misguided” and/or “lost” – as you so eloquently put it, then so be it. The “truth” is what the person wants it to be and interprete it under their own volition.
Diin-ku-sheeggu waxay dadka faraysaa in dhagax madow oo Sucuudiga ku yaal loo sujuudo. Waxay beddeshay dhammaanba wixii an lahaan jirnay iyo wixii an ahaan jirnay. In dadkeenna laga dhaadhiciyo in wixii Islaam ka hor ay ahaayeen la tirtiraa waa beenta adduunka ugu weyn. Diintu waxay seefta ku beddeshay ummado badan oo waxay la wareegtay wax walba oo ay laahaayeen, sida taariikhdoodii iyo cilmigoodii. Markii ay Masar soo gaartay waxay la wareegtay wixii Masaaridu kumannaan sannadood lahaayeen.
Who are you to judge whether a group of Somalis are muslims or nonmuslims. Alshabab are muslims even though we muslims might not support all their actions. You are a South African and I don’t think that you are a muslim, so please refrain from labeling the Somalis as nonmuslims.
Ogaal83, I really feel sorry for you. You can be a disbeliever if you want, and no one can force you to be a Muslim but you are really misguided. We live in nonmuslims here in the west and we see that they are searching for the truth. Ironically you seem to be lost.
Ogaal83, adigu marka hore maad dadka u sheegtid inaad gaal tahay?!! Diinta Islaamku horumarka dadka iskama hor istaagto, horumarka iyo aqoontana muslimiinta laga bartay. Ka jooji dadka waxa beenta ah eed ku akhriyayso.
They have really done a bang up job of running the country.
This ignorant Arab knows nothing about Somalis. Somalis are far more knowledgable than he claim on Islam, it is these ‘Islamist’ fighters being paid by people from his backround who are supporting them monetarily and ideologically. I have just returned from Somalia and I have spoken at length with people on the issue of Islam and terrorism,and everyone who wasnt a member of Al-Shabaab hated their twisted Wahabi-Arab ideology .Somalis are liberal sufi/sunnis who on the whole hate this death cult.
You are not Somali and no Somali would accept you, eat food with you or drink water from you, you gave that up as soon as you gave up on Islam and turned your back on Allah and Nabi Mohammed (saw).
You judge the deen according to the behaviour of misguided fools & murderers.
Ilaahrumayso & stop wronging your soul & allowing shaytan & your desires rule your life. What benefit do you get from shaking your fist at Allah in anger. Anger leads to hatred leads to despair leads to unbeliever.
Sida ninka kor la muuqda, Carabtii diin-ku-sheegga inoo keentay ayaa la yaaban sida waallida ah ee dadkeennu ugu dheggan yahay oo waxaa marag u ah inuu hadda leeyahay waxaannu nahay jaahiliin. Horrumar oo dhan ayay dadka ka hor istaagtaa oo waxay la dirirtaa aqoonta iyo kuwa aqoonta leh. Waxay faraysaa dadka inay u noolaadaan sidii iyadoo lugu jiro qarnigii 7aad oo kale, si ay u helaan “ajar” oo waa inay maanguuriyaan sidii Maxamed (kaadi korkiis) u noolaa waagaas. Dhimmashaduna waa “xaq”.
Waxaan rajeynayaa in dagaalladaan xad-dhaafka ah ay dadkeenna indhaha u furaan oo ay eegaan meesha ay adduunka ka joogaan iyo waxa la gudboon. Waxaan rajeynayaa inay taariikh u noqoto oo ay aayahooda ka tashadaan. Qof meel dheer wax ka eega un baa garan kara waxa socda iyo halka ay taariikhda adduunka kaga beegan tahay. Soomaaliya waa wadan u baahan cilmi si dadkeennu u badbaado oo looga qabto kuwa tirtirka la raba dadkaas masaakiinta ah. Kuwa waalan ee gudaha iyo dibeddaba joogana laga qabto.
I won’t threaten you or tell you to die. No, that’s the Islamic way, to which I am no part of. Instead, I can only wish that some day you’ll be released from that trap and be a decent human again, the way your ancesters were before they were enslaved and converted by the sword by Arabs. The same Arabs who have refused to let dead Somalis be buried on their holy land, where dogs have more respect than a black person. The awful history of Arabs and blacks is known to some, hidden from many, too.
Don’t feel sorry for me. Feel sorry for the people whose body parts litter the streets of Mogadishu, for the poor kids who oppose each other in that hellhole, yelling “ALLAH U AKBAR!” Who have been told that a light will shine from above once they blow themselves up to peices and take them to heave, no questions asked. If that is “Allah’s blessing” – he can keep it. Although he doesn’t exist, a false piety. It’s so horrific that no decent human can bear, only wraped mind like yours can.
I’m Somali but I am not Muslim. I refuse to be part of a cult that oppresses the human soul, preys on the most vulnerable and makes kids suicide bombers. You’re in a “Kufar” – (an Arabic word) land eating government cheese, can’t go to your land, enjoy their comfortable life and yet claim that THEY are bad people. There are more Kufars in Saudi Arabia than in Somalia, let them go to war there, not in my backyard. The country is now in grave danger, all forces will soon commence saturated bombing
Further more, I am Somali and there was Somalia before Islam was invented by a demonic Arab named Mohamed (piss be upon him) who waged wars incessantly on anybody who didn’t subscribe to his warped ways and killed countless people. He engaged in more than 65 wars during his time, to promote Arab culture, history, language and their new-found “religion”. Your writing tells of an unstable/confused mind, essentially, you are the perfect example of their target group. Rage/anger will kill your soul.
Your stupidity is appalling. What is going on in Somalia has nothing to do with Islam. It’s the work of international terrorists who have no other place to hide since Swat Valley of Pakistan has been demolished. These people prey on poor/ignorant. As has happened in Somalia, they first kill or chase all the educated people, then unleash unbearable brutality on the civilians they claim to protect from “enemies of Allah.” Only they are true Muslims, all others are to be killed. Study Wahabbi ways!
